Mayor of Lakeside, Steven Parman, used our new Alaskan mill to repurpose a down tree in the park. We can now buck and mill a tree in place and then use the lumber to create rideable features. This is the kind of equipment and project that your SORBA membership supports!

8 volunteers spent their Earth Day clearing brush at Gateway Park. There's no way to appreciate the planet like getting dirty for a few hours!

We'll be back there the next three Wednesday's from 6-8 PM doing trail work and slinging hot dogs on the grill. If you value this work but aren't able to join us, please consider donating to our organization to fund more projects like this.

A family helped us break in the Rad Rabbit 2 just as our volunteer crew was finishing up last Saturday. Here's what Katelyn had to say about it -

"A crew of your volunteers was finishing up work on the Rad Rabbit 2. They were so kind in letting my kids try it out! My kids struggled, got back up, and tried again. I love seeing kids try new things and persevere. It builds resilience. In the end, some of my kids had bruises or scratches, but they all were so proud of getting back up and trying something new! Thanks for the work your volunteers did to provide this experience for our family. And all the kindness and encouragement from your volunteer crew."

We're stoked to be supporting the next generation of riders!
